as being Italian the drive side will probably unscrew itself at some point.
From what I've read, this mainly happens to loose ball bearings. For what it's worth, my ITA Campagnolo Record bottom bracket cups have never come loose (so far in over three years). I didn't even use any thread locker, just grease and tightened it up properly.

My campag cartridge bottom bracket came loose, actually what it did was gradually pull itself from one side of the bottom bracket shell to the other. I also didn’t use threadlock but just tightened it up way more. didn’t really use it long enough afterward to see whether that solved it permanently. Have also seen other people’s bikes with the same problem.
Csb- Would prob use threadlock in future so I don’t have to worry about it.
Cheers really chuffed actually. The BB threads excellent so just figured I'd buy the Campag fit Park wrench and do it myself, as being Italian the drive side will probably unscrew itself at some point. Going to get the headset fitted this weekend as I lack the tools, I have a sealed Shimano 600, so will get spacers put in rather than cutting the column as I will get a nice Campag when funds permit. I've gone for tubs rather than clinchers. I'm umming and ahrring about buying the Campag ultraglide cable set as at £27 it's a lot of dough at the moment, although it will do the brifters and the brakes in one go. Got a little flash of yellow teflon cable for the derailleur as suggested by @PhilDAS and will get some black cork tape. Got the obligatory fastmanscog™ on the back lol.
